As more and more people begin to add their name to it, it becomes arguably quite clear that the community thinks Sony's rejection of a potential Days Gone sequel is unwarranted. Now it looks as though another milestone has been reached.Īccording to, the number of fans who have signed the petition has now surpassed 100,000 and, at the time of this article going live, is still climbing. Given that Sony rejected a sequel to the survival action game Days Gone, fans wanted to make their protestations heard so they began a petition recently which reached 80,000 signatures in a short space of time. As the Writers Guild of America wrote on Twitter: "Writers are ready for a deal from the studios that allows writers to share in the success of the content they create and build a stable life.Online petitions have almost become the go-to method for the wider community to voice its concerns about key issues, and video games are no exception. Reports show that some writers have even needed to turn to public assistance in order to provide for themselves. So far, members of the AMPTP show little willingness to shift, with some representatives saying that the "writers are lucky to have" their current arrangements.īut their luck doesn't seem to include being able to pay rent or mortgage. This is the first time writers have gone on strike since 2007, and because they have so little left to lose, they're prepared to hold out as long as possible - meaning we could lose out on seeing our favorite shows. The Writers Guild of America represents approximately 15,000 screenwriters who give us the content necessary to produce shows like Abbott Elementary, Big Mouth, Stranger Things, Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and more. Reports show that studios are, on average, paying screenwriters 14% less than 5 years ago (adjusted for inflation). Yet that money has not translated into adequate pay for writers.

Studios have dramatically ramped up their budgets for TV series, skyrocketing the money they're willing to funnel into our entertainment. Netflix paid its co-CEO Ted Sarandos $50.3 million in 2022 (which was a 32% jump over the previous year). Discovery paid its CEO, David Zaslav, $250 million. There's no storytelling without them! These corporations are making billions off of works that literally could not exist without writers to envision and create them.
Writers are the people who create content out of nothing, so that we have something to enjoy. Sign the petition to demand the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents most major film studios, agree to writers' demands now! That's why 97.85% of unionized film and TV writers voted to go on strike for better compensation, after weeks of failed contract negotiations with major studios.
But while Hollywood film studios are raking in the profits off of these shows, the very people who imagine and build these fictional worlds are getting very little in return. Most of us enjoy unwinding after a day's work or laughing with friends as we enjoy watching an episode (or 2 or 3 or 4) of the latest hit streaming TV show.
